Italian and Juventus legend Alessandro del Piero, another casualty of the 1997/98 side which lost the final to Real Madrid, didn’t declare any clear favourites for tonight’s clash citing that the two teams have won the respective leagues in their country.
Del Piero spent 19 seasons in Turin with Juventus and won all that there is to win. The Italian striker insisted that he will encourage his former side and hopes that they come home with the trophy.
